Windows Toolbox is a versatile utility software that includes the features of a Swiss army knife. It also offers a portable option to restore the start button menu for Windows 8 users.

While it is still a work in progress, I believe Windows Toolbox is in a usable state with a great deal of functionality. Currently, it incorporates a Program Launcher, Shell Function, Colour Picker, Screen Capture, Shutdown Schedule, Font Information and Basic Computer Information.
One of the standout features of this software is the ability to control the taskbar by setting transparency levels, autohide, and hiding. The shutdown schedule tab also allows you to schedule the launch of a program.
For Windows 8 users, Windows Toolbox offers the functionality of the start button menu back in a portable form. This is a great feature for those who miss the start button on their Windows 8 device.
To make things even better, a help file is available from the product download page. This will help you get started with Windows Toolbox and ensure that you're using it to its full potential. So, if you're looking for a versatile utility program that can help you get things done, Windows Toolbox is definitely worth considering.
